To achieve high-quality and even paving, a constant material feed is needed. To this end, VÖGELE optimised the PaveDock Assistant assistant system and the spring-loaded impression beam PaveDock for the Dash 5 paver generation.
The PaveDock Assistant supports the construction site team with simple and clear symbols when handing over the mix. The core of the communication system is formed by the signal lights mounted on the right and left of the paver’s hardtop and the associated controls on the paver operator’s ErgoPlus 5 console. The paver operator can coordinate with the driver of the feed vehicle using two clear signals – green for docking and red for stopping.
The PaveDock ensures a higher pave quality: The sprung push-rollers efficiently absorb jolts from feed vehicles, preventing such jolts being transmitted to the paver and thus to the asphalt. The push-rollers also oscillate, allowing trucks to be pushed, even on bends.
